  4. UniForum (formerly /usr/group) has three current publications which
  5. provide overviews of POSIX:
  6.  
  7.      1.  "Your Guide to POSIX" - an executive-level overview of the
  8.              standard
  9.      2.  "POSIX Explored: System Interface" - an overview for technical
  10.              managers, etc.
  11.      3.  a white paper called "Standards Update:  Shell and Utilities"
  12.              a snapshot of the current status of P1003.2, which is
  13.              currently in balloting
  14.  
  15. These publications were distributed to UniForum general members as part
  16. of their membership benefits, but are available to non-members as well.
  17. Call 408-986-8840 for ordering info.

  19. Disclaimer:  I work for UniForum, was involved in the publishing of
  20. these pamphlets, and continue to be involved in the association's
  21. standards activities, but I still think the books are great.
  22. (Hal Jespersen, chair of P1003.2 did most of the work.)
